Nobody always does anything, and certainly no group of people does. No matter what a cultures' values are, there are people who don't agree with those values. Regardless how a person was raised, there are people who respond and those who do not. No hypothetical situation such as you propose has a single answer. Sorry.

The problem is you are both falsely identifying with your body type, your ancestors, etc.
The truth of the matter, whether you accept it or not, is that we are not these bodies--- we are spirit souls TEMPORARILY in a material body. This false identification with our particular body leads to all kinds of erroneous behavior--- false pride, wars, the concept of "us" versus "them", racial bigotry, national bias, etc.
That man is no more responsible for his forefathers' actions than you are for yours-- or I am for mine, for that matter.
Be in the present-- identify yourself as an eternal spirit soul, a spark of the Supreme Lord. You are here in the material world to serve and love God and serve and love your brothers and sisters-- black, white, brown, green, furry, whatever.
If you look into ANYONE'S past--- past lives, past 'forefathers' etc. you will eventually find every sin ever known--- and hopefully every saintly thing as well.
If we act humble, respectful, and equal to all, we have far less of these conflicts. Even if the other guy is an idiotic bigot, you do not need to react-- and interact-- on that level.
Walk in the truth and the light-- Eventually others will reflect it.

Why would he? It's like you bowing down because your forefathers might have been slaves, or because they sacrificed people in Africa, which by the way continues to this day (look up the Hutu-Tutsi conflict, among others).
Please don't base your assumptions of people by what a movie has shown. Mel gibson meant to entertain, and he did.

I dont know why you would even bring up his forefathers. That is pretty low and stupid on your part. Things that happened in the past long ago should be used aginst anyone in any way. Who cares about forfather actions it was there actions not his. find another way to work out your problems. If you use his forefather aginst him, you are no better than he is.

omg. you know for a black person, you are really really rascist is shocks me honestly, now i know where your children get it from. grow up and mature a little bit and realize that the days of my race is better than yours are LONG GONE, take a good long hard look at yourself in the mirror, if someone called you a derogatory (sp) name for a black person you wouldn't like it so why teach your family to do it to others? where's the maturity in that? grow up and do yourself a favor coz you dont sound like a very happy and content person.
